One reviewer rated it highly for couples and solo travelers, and two guests chose it to wind down at the end of a trip through Japan.", "It is a weaker fit for friends sharing a room. One guest pointed out that the shower and bath sit behind see-through glass and suggested coming with a partner instead. It also suits people who manage stairs easily, since there is no elevator.
